AVOID THE LOBSTER SPECIAL Four of us went for their annual Maine lobster special. The venue was excellent and the service was, OK, nothing special and it was clear they wanted us to clear our table ASAP. They do a 4 course menus for $99. It wasn't worth it. They start with a dip and stone fruit salad. They were not good, especially the salad. The lobster, a whole one, looked great, but looks,we're deceiving. They were not cracked and it was a real struggle to get the meat out, eventually, we had to,send all of them back to the kitchen and the return lobster was OK, nothing worth getting again. They did not got ce us the tiny fork which one always sees at a lobster place. The desert, a meriimgue, was only fair. I'm guessing they do better with the standard menu, but I doubt I'll go back to find out.

I got the Cobb salad. It was not a normal Cobb salad I expected; very strange. Also, I add a salmon to it and it was overcooked and a rather small portion for the price. The ambiance is very pleasant ; the service was ok. No one really came by to ask me how was my salad though. Overpriced.

The space is immediately next to the B of A building on the plaza side, in a plastic tented space. the ambiance is cool, the bar looks nice, and lots of potted plants. the 2 course meals is a great value, but the main is likely a small/medium size portion, which is fine for a solid lunch. One caveat, is if you add salmon/chicken, like we did on top of the risotto (as it is a small portion of risotto) just ask what the price is. $18 for salmon (didn't have the skin on it, i would have liked it!) is outrageous! I can't remember what the chicken upcharge was...but ask before you say yes if you're being mindful of cost. These guys own a few other places, and i love Trestle. Overall it's good!

Overall a 10/10 experience at The Vault Garden! The food, ambience, and service were all amazing and the lunch specials were a hit with the table. It was really nice to see so many people there and the mood was very positive all around. Would highly recommend the fish and chips! Next stop the happy hour at the Vault Steakhouse!

Nathan was a great host and server. The appetizer was a little spicy but the entrée was great.

Since it was a Friday night there was almost no one in the restaurant. However, everything was great and I'm sure it's much busier during the work week.

This restaurant was amazing! My boyfriend and I went for Valentine's Day, and it was the perfect date night spot. The service was incredible, and the food was amazing. I would totally recommend this place for a fun little date night spot or a place to celebrate something special.

Overall had a great experience and meal at the vault. The heaters were the perfect temp. I chose the restaurant based on location near the Jay hotel and menu offerings. The crab dip was fantastic. The fried brussel sprouts were a bit burned. The risotto had great texture but I wasn't a fan of the mushrooms but that was personal taste. Overall a pleasant experience. Will try the Vault steak house next time in the city.

We ordered two appetizers, dinner roles and crab/artichoke dip. The roles came out first, but not quickly. The dip came out with our entrees. It took nearly 40 minutes to get the dip. We asked a couple of times and were told it's coming soon, then, when delivered I was told the dip “takes a long time to make”. Staff were cordial. Main courses ok. Good wines. Loved the decorations and seating setup. Overall, a middle of the road experience.

The customer service was great as soon as you walked in. The host Andrea was wonderful. She was also our server. We tried to make reservations for the steakhouse, and they were booked, but she let us know that we could go down and have dinner at the bar. So when it was time to order she gave us suggestions and we went for them, and it was great. I can't wait to go back, because everything was great. I love being places where they enjoy what they do, and the staff there were amazing.

Festively decorated and good service. Our whole party agreed that food tasted like airline food. And it was very expensive. I would only recommend for one festive drink.
